About:
mdserve is a lightweight, fast markdown preview server written in Rust. It serves markdown files as HTML with automatic browser reloading on file changes. The tool supports custom themes and syntax highlighting, providing a seamless writing and preview experience.
Key Features:
  • Live reload on file changes
  • Built-in theme support
  • Fast performance (Rust-based)
  • Simple CLI interface
Use Cases:
  • Live previewing documentation while writing
  • Reviewing markdown changes locally before pushing
  • Quickly rendering README files in a browser
Alternatives:
  • markdown-server – Similar functionality, often Python-based and potentially slower
  • live-server – Generic static file server with live reload, but lacks markdown-specific parsing
